The Personal DNS
( for advanced webmasters ).
Personalized Name Servers are generally used by webmasters
who will be reselling web hosting accounts, and want to add a professional
look to their DNS.
Why? If you're reselling accounts under your own entity,
you could use our name servers, which would be sent to your customers in
the form of:
DNS1.SERVERHOST8.COM
DNS2.SERVERHOST8.COM
Not bad, but what if you want your DNS settings to appear as a part of
your company?
Let's say your company was
www.myveryownwebhostingshop.com.
If you desire, you could setup your own custom branded
DNS, which could display as:
ns1.myveryownwebhostingshop.com
ns2.myveryownwebhostingshop.com
This provides a somewhat more professional look to your customers when
sending out your DNS settings in a welcoming email.
In addition, if someone does a WHOIS lookup on your domain
name, it appears as your personal DNS, as opposed to the company you're
reselling for.
Not really a big deal, but some webmasters do not want to
advertise the host they're reselling for, as they feel it does not portray
a professional and independent look.
There is no superior advantage to having your own name
server unless you're a reseller, and or a web designer who is also
planning on hosting the websites they build.
